Time flies when you think you have lots of it, lol, I have been so busy that I don't know if I am coming or going half the time. Slowly but surely, in my haphazard way I am accomplishing my goals ;-D I am feeling a bit down with the disorganization but definitely up with the progress: My kitchen is completely unpacked; I finished the porch project {and it's bootiful lol}and I am ready to start 2 more batches of tincture. Recently, I met a very nice man who has been sympathetic to the cause and gone out of his way to find me what I want. Once again, the universe, the Creator, God, has provided what is needed. I have found this to be true throughout my life and until recently I had been allowing the "laws of scarcity" to creep in and try to root themselves into my psyche but thanks to my sister's watchful eye and wonderful gift {the book is divine, thank you} I have returned wholeheartedly to my faith, that whatever happens is in the Creators hands ;-) and I will work diligently to restore myself as thoroughly as possible and remain in good spirits.
I have had several incidences come up since announcing my amputation, some funny, some sad. I am finding more things to be lighter about all the time, for example, 2 of my daughters have been planning a party to say "goodbye" to my foot ;-/ now I could have got all bent out of shape, wailing about how it's some kind of cruel reminder of what's to come or I can choose to honor my foot for all the devotion it has given me and what better way to do that than have a BonVoyage Mon Pied party! lol The girls have thought up all sorts of ways in which those attending can honor their own feet as well, including foot casts in plaster of paris ;-D but the pi-ece de resistance {sp?} is the permanent ink markers for signing my foot; I am going to draw a line that everyone who attends the party must sign below and because it is permanent ink marker, it will still be a work of art for the doctors and nurses who are going to amputate it! ;-D I want to write: "Save the fish ---->" as I have a goldfish tattoo on my right ankle that will be lost unfortunately. I have had that tattoo for over 30 years so I have already taken a picture of it and may get it re-tattooed on my stump once it's healed; we'll see how sensitive it is lol Anyway, I may make a foot or shoe cake but that will depend on whether I have time, there is still so much unpacking and organizing to do that what I contribute to the party will depend on what I get done before then ;-/ Likely, it will just be a clean organized spot to hold the party lol
